Actually @VapingJunkie was the only one who took a "selfie" with the Box other than @Dhim... I need entertainment while I wait until it gets down to 41 guys/gals! Lol

I know how to take the pic, but how do I get it from the camera to here? Yes, I am a photo-posting ignoramus, lol.

You know how to load them from your camera to your computer? After that, click on the "upload a file" button next to "post reply", select your photo... it'll tell you what to do next :)

Or, if you have tapatalk and the picture is on your phone, you can upload it way easier. Is that the case? If so, I'll rundown the steps to get it up.

Haven't done that, either.... I will see if I have an appropriate cord for camera/computer (would help, huh?) Guess I should have thought of this earlier. Thanks, Huck.

If you don't have a cord, you could also use a USB to memory card adapter. This will allow you to put them onto your computer, where you can upload them to this site or Photobucket.

Excepting the terms of getting on the PIF box list was to take a picture. If you can't take and post pic's then you shouldn't have excepted the terms. It doesn't have to be a selfie, just a pic of the contents of the box. It lets everyone else know whats going on inside the box. Come on people just take the pics and keep it fun.

It could be that she's in an area that has crappy post office hours. The one near where I work closes for 2hrs at lunch, and at 4pm during the week, and only a 2hr open time on Saturdays. The odds of me getting to the post office on a day I work is 'ain't gonna happen', I had messaged Dhim to remove me from the list early on, and we talked it over, so I'm still on the list. But if the complaints are going to keep being high about those that can't do a 24hr turn around. Please PLEASE remove me from the list, I simply can't do a 24 hour turn around of 'get box', take pic, and ship out. My schedule doesn't allow it unless I get incredibly lucky with the day it comes in the day before I'm off. Which is unlikely.

We don't have problems when we're in the know, but it's the unknown that drives us crazy. Thanks for the heads-up, but it's my opinion you should stay on the list. I've seen some of your posts, and you're very helpful. :)

@BugOut Machine I don't know how to private message on VU.
Click their user name in any post, a pop-up with a mini profile for that person will appear, and "start a conversation" is the link to the right of "profile page". Click the start a conversation link and you'll be taken to the screen to send an IM/PM/Convo - whatever you want to call it.

Thank You @Frawg for the assist. :) I thought going to the "start a conversation" page was public. I learn something new everyday.

The conversation thing can be a bit confusing, but, unlike a pm, a convo can include multiple people!

Yikes I need to make an effort to pay more attention to this thread. I'm very sorry for that. @bugoutmachine is going to help me a bit with this and sorting out the second box. There are hundreds of messages to sort trough. I have all the stuff for the second box but haven't had any time to get the list together. Bear with me. Once the list is together PIF 2 is going out.

For this box I spoke with obsolete and it's going out tomorrow morning. It's gigantic at the moment and costs about $20 to ship. If anyone does not want that box. I'm going to step in and take it and make 2 even boxes out of it. So it will become PIF 3.

As for pictures, it would be cool to have people take pictures with the box as that was one of the main things.

Here's what I'm going to do. PIF 1 comes to me. I'm going to split it and send to next in line for PIF 1 and PIF 3 will randomly start from 20-30 on this list. PIF 2 will be all the newcomers with the stuff I have.

There we go. :)

Yep, it is big, that was one of the reasons I suggested splitting it up. The other was so that the individual packets of rayon, ramie and japanese cotton could get to people faster.

We all knew that there would be some snafoos with the first box. Heck, the PO has only been open 2 days since Obsolete got it... I live 40 minutes from the nearest PO - there are going to be some slight delays. Plus, sometimes real life pops up in the most unexpected times. All is well - Muster up your PIF attitudes - PIF is the whole purpose of the box & the thread (not what's in it for me & who took what). We are basically the beta testers & our experiences will help work the kinks out. Carry on, Vape calmly & enjoy the participation & anticipation.

Also, don't forget to send your add to Bug Out, so that he can better monitor progress.
:D Be blessed.:rolleyes:

Try to split the box so us higher people still get the choices the lower people had.

hate to split the box, but understand the cost factor.

let us know how it is going to work next.

new rules?? what are they and do we still PM the next person from us for shipping info.

I think basically how @Dhim is going to do it is wicking stuff in a small box that ships cheap and fast. That will be box three. The juice donated so far and any hardware will stay in box one.

Is it too late to get in on this? I don't have a whole lot, have some juices that I got when i started that are just too high nic content for me and so far watching this thread has got me really excited about the idea, and if I get on the list, by the time it gets to me I'll probably have some more to PIF as well, I keep buying new stuff, as I have not found my vape style yet.

A box full of wicking would be cheap and fast, but I think the wicking is good for use as padding for glass items. And, as I have already stated, splitting the wicking would get it to more people faster.

Box left today to its new recipient! I managed to repack it into a priority box at a cost of $17.95... Saved a few bucks but had to lean on it to close it!! Luckily there is enough wicking to keep it padded!!
You are just awesome

I have enjoyed watching how this is developing into an insane shitstorm of giving, and it amazes me how much this community is more like a caring family( you know the ones you see on TV, and wish your family was more like) than just a bunch of like minded people. With this being said, if I do get into this I'm going to have to make a couple of wood juice/tank stands to put in, not very good, but something I've started making recently.Vapestand.jpg

Read this whole post if you are interested in the PIF. Muy importante!

So I know I've been a somewhat quiet lurker, and for that I am sorry but I'm here and watching over. So far, I have only seen a couple issues. None really major.

1) You guys need to mug up and take a damn selfie! That's 90% of the fun of this thread. Seeing who gets the box and putting a face to the avatars. See the post from @VapingJunkie. That's how you PIF properly.

2) You guys need to TAKE MORE! If people put in 100ml worth of juice and then take out a 10ml the box is going to get large, fast. Even if flavors are too strong, the next time you go to "The Mart" buy a 2 dollar bottle of VG and cut that stuff down! I don't care, but take :).

3) I know you guys want some PIF loving, and after the current member has it, its coming back to me where I am going to split it up. It will be a regular PIF box. I have an idea to control this PIF shipping getting out of hand, but first I want to see what is actually in the box when it comes to me. One option is when I split it, I put it in a flat rate priority medium box. That locks the shipping at 12 bucks no matter the weight, as long as you can seal the box and it doesn't go over 75lbs, it ships. Tracking is included in the price and it forces everyone to keep the box a reasonable size. In fact, I'm fairly certain that is what I'm going to do.

Now about people getting antsy, the rules state you have 3 business days to ship it unless you notify us in the thread for a reason. Weekends, holidays, and zombie apocalypses don't count. Don't assume the worst in people, here at VU we should all be half full type of folk! In the most recent case, it was over a $20 shipping bill + labor day weekend + going back to school. We can cut a little slack there right?

So what are we going to do with PIF 1 (the current), PIF 2 (the totally new one I have the stuff for thanks to @PondScum, and PIF 3 (the split of PIF 1).
When PIF 1 comes to me, I'm going to split it evenly. Then send out the split to the next in line for PIF 1 and contact a random number between 20 and 30 on PIF 1 list, who will be the start of PIF 3. For now those two lists are closed! This will give you all a nice short wait and being the originators, this gives you a nice short grab at them.

Now for PIF 2 the new box. I am going to open a new thread and ask for who wants it. I am going to give it until Monday, September 8th. ANYONE who is NOT on the current PIF list can enter. There are over 1000 posts between the 2 original threads and honestly that has been the major stopping point for me to sort through and get it going. It's simply too much to go through each post and see who said they want in. So for PIF 2, on the thread I create, just simply say you want in and that is the new list. As Rip would say, "Easy Peezy, Chicken Sleezy" or something like that.

but-wait-theres-more.jpg


I am going to order that gigantic box of Rayon. Debox it and bag it the heck up, toss it in a box suitable for USPS first class shipping and make a wick box. Anyone can get on this. Take as much or as little as you want. When its out, I'll just send a new box to the next one in line. The only thing you could PIF in that box is wicking material. You can ship a 12x12x12 box via USPS first class and as long as it doesn't go over a pound (you have any idea how much a pound of cotton actually is?) it ships that way. Once I have confirmed tracking of the box, I'll post that thread. All the wicking material that @VapingJunkie sent for PIF will be going out in the real PIF boxes as intended, and their is a lot of it so you guys will get your hands on it that way as well.

Phew that was long, but hey this is what happens when an Italian from Jersey goes quiet for too long. It has to come out eventually!

NO, please PM me your address (so I can verify and log it) and then I will send the address of the next person in line to receive the box, etc. The whole point is to document who is possession of the box(es) with at least a hundred dollars worth of merchandise between each shipment.

This way if the boxes go missing, YOU guys are not liable as I will have records of the starting and ending point of each shipment and the Tracking # for each transition. This also helps if any liability matters come to light. Although I doubt this will happen as we have quite the kickass community! :):cool:

Speaking of which, I have the current Tracking # from @Obsolete and once it has reached it's destination, the entire box is going to be shipped to either @Dhim or myself and we are BOTH going to physically go through the box, discuss how to split it up so that it will be cost efficient for each person on the list and ensure this is done properly under the current proposed model.

You all have to realize that the current "VU PIF Box" is unlike any other site of forums PIF in the history of vaping. This entire process may need to be reevaluated. That said, everyone who is on the list or has posted that they want in WILL be eligible for the PIF. It just may not continue it's course under the current circumstances.
Just want to make sure I got my address to you.
